Itinerary

Show detailed itinerary

1Day 1Arrive Kathmandu.

Arrive in Kathmandu late afternoon and transfer to the hotel. Local hire bikes will be issued for anyone who requires them, and then you have some free time to either explore or relax. We will have a full briefing in the evening at dinner. Group members arriving independently should make their own way to the hotel.See more images and videos

2Day 2Transfer out of Kathmandu to Pashupatinath then cycle to Bhaktapur and explore the town and its temples; cycle past paddy fields and villages to Godawari.

After an early morning breakfast in Kathmandu we drive to the mediaeval town of Bhaktapur. This beautiful city, now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the home of traditional art and architecture, historical monuments and craft works, pottery and weaving industries. A well-preserved ancient city, we will have time to explore its Newari temples and squares. After lunch in the square we cycle to Godawari. This afternoon’s ride is over mixed terrain, sometimes we cycle on tarmac roads and sometimes on dirt tracks with some off road sections. We cycle through the village of Lubhu, known for its handmade cloth, from where we continue heading west on a jeep track passing paddy fields at the foot of the Phulchowki Hill, which is the highest hill in the valley (2770m). Finally we meet the main road to Godawari and the last 3km takes us on an easy climb to our hotel. (The bus will not be with us this afternoon and those not wanting to cycle off road can go on the bus to Godawari, from where there is the option to visit the Botanical Gardens).

3Day 3Cycle on tracks to Bungamati village. Explore the village. Ride through the valley to Dakshinkali. Afternoon walk to visit Dakshinkali Temple.

We start the day cycling to Bungamati, a 16th Century traditional Newari village south of Kathmandu. We have time to explore this wonderful rural town famous for its woodcarvers, before heading off towards Dakshinkali. As we cycle we have time to take in the fantastic views of the Kathmandu Valley. We finally hit the paved road that leads all the way to Dakshinkali. The road is paved but is quite narrow and often busy with people visiting the temple which is one of the most famous temples in the Kathmandu Valley. Dedicated to Kali, the goddess of power, ritual sacrifices are regularly made here. In the afternoon or evening we will visit the temple (though only Hindus are permitted inside). If there is time we can also hike to Parping monastery.

4Day 4Ride to Kulekhani Dam then through pine forest to Markhu; afternoon road ride up to Daman, the high point of the trip with magnificent panoramic views of the Himalaya. On a clear day you can see all the way to Everest.

Today is probably the biggest challenge and one of the highlights of the trip. After breakfast we drive up to Humane Banjyang (11km) and then ride some exciting rough jeep trails that lead up and across the valley rim on to the Kulekhani Dam Site. This was completed in 1982 and was Nepal's first major hydroelectric project. The ride is incredibly scenic and we cycle along a beautiful valley and pass through pine forests and small villages before reaching Markhu. Here a picturesque lake provides the perfect backdrop for our lunch break. We then continue riding towards Daman, at first on rough tracks and then we finally meet the main road called the Tribhuvan Highway. For the enthusiastic group members there is a final challenging 14km road climb to Daman. The road winds up and up through magnificent forest. Watch out for the sting in the tail at the end of the day ï¿½ our hotel is about another 4km past the view tower in Daman itself! The climb is well worth the effort - our simple hotel enjoys a spectacular mountainside location, with a superb outlook on the Himalayas. Daman also happens to be the highest point in the valley at 2387m and offers an unimpeded view of the entire Himalayan range. On a clear day you can see all the way from Everest in the east to Dhaulagiri in the west.

If it is clear, it's well worth getting up for the sunrise. Wrap up warm as it can be cold here in the early morning especially in autumn. From the hotel view tower we get spectacular sunrise views across much of the Nepal Himalaya. We can see all the way from the Annapurnas in the west of Nepal, past the Manaslu, Langtang and Jugal Himals all the way to the mountains around Everest, you can even spot Everest on a really clear day. After breakfast we set off for a gentle but beautiful hike to a nearby small Tibetan monastery, inhabited by Bhutanese monks, before returning to the hotel for lunch. With our appetites satisfied we saddle up for the exciting ride down to Hetauda in the Terai, the lowland area of Nepal. The ride today is all on surfaced roads and begins with a descent towards the plains of Northern India offering 2030m of downhill over 53km. The road makes lots of sharp turns and bends, so although the views are fantastic please ride with caution. The descent takes us through rhododendron (the Nepalese national flower), pine forests and past wonderful terraced hillsides typical of Nepal. As we descend we pass a series of small towns in the lowlands where the land has been extensively farmed for crops. The road is busier as we continue riding towards the city of Hetauda, a busy and bustling Indian style city. Our hotel here is very simple.

6Day 6Cycle or drive along the east west highway to Lothar Bridge. Leave the road and cycle along tracks past small villages, paddy fields and subtropical forests; Overnight in Chitwan.

This morning we have the option to cycle or drive the along the fairly busy Mahendra Highway for 30km to Lothar Bridge. We then start riding off-road with lush forest on our right and the Rapti River on our left as we follow a narrow jeep track to Chitwan. We are now in the part of Nepal called the ï¿½Teraiï¿½, which is essentially a wide belt of fertile land bordered by the Himalayan foothills to the north and to the south by the Ganges River. Riding on ancient bullock-cart tracks we pass through neat mud-walled villages, vivid green paddy fields and mixed sub-tropical forests, criss-crossed by numerous rivers. We ride all the way to our hotel (if we cycle all the way from Hetauda we will arrive late afternoon and if we drive to Lothar Bridge we will arrive by lunchtime). The hotel is surrounded by jungle and is spectacularly located on the banks of the Rapti River, which borders the famous Royal Chitwan National Park. This peaceful and tranquil place is perfect after a day's ride.

7Day 7Day in Chitwan to enjoy a dugout canoe trip and an elephant-back safari in search of the Asian rhino.

Today we spend the whole day in and around the Chitwan National Park. The most popular way of seeing animals is on elephant back, and we will be very unlucky not to see at least the Indian one-horned rhinoceros and several species of deer. We also make a trip along the Rapti River in a dugout canoe, looking for crocodile and observing the many birds. The safari lodge has knowledgeable and helpful staff, who accompany us on all the excursions.See more images and videos

8Day 8Ride through forest to Beezhazari Tal and then onto the Mahendra Highway through Narayanghat to lunch: afternoon transfer to Lumbini, Buddha's birthplace.

After breakfast we start riding on jeep tracks towards the Tikauli forest through an area called Beezhazari Tal (which means 20,000 lakes). This area boasts over 130 species of plants as well as endangered species from the animal world; such as the royal Bengal tiger. We ride 8km through the forest passing one of the many lakes in the area. With the forest behind us, the scenery changes once again. For the later part of this morning we follow more dirt tracks with a vast area of farmland stretching before us. We then join the Mahendra Highway and ride as far as the busy town of Narayanghat, where we stop for a break. Surrounded by captivating scenery we continue on the main road to Kawasuti and stop for lunch. In the afternoon we load our bikes on to the vehicle and have a 130km drive to Lumbini.See more images and videos

9Day 9Ride through remote villages to Butwal.

Lumbini is the birthplace of Lord Buddha (623BC) and it is now a busy place of pilgrimage to Buddhists from many different countries. There are large gardens in Lumbini where there are a number of temples and monasteries built by Buddhists from all over the world. We spend some time in the morning walking round the gardens and visiting a couple of monasteries. We then head out of Lumbini on our bikes and have a wonderful easy off road ride through remote typical Indian style villages. The ride offers a real glimpse of rural life in this part of Nepal with haystacks and buffalo water holes and widespread fields. Single file we ride through narrow village alleyways before meeting the Mahendra Highway. We continue cycling on this road until Butwal, where we stay in a simple hotel.

10Day 10Cycle on the Siddhartha Highway to the mediaeval town of Tansen, with stunning Himalayan views.

After a hearty breakfast it's a beautiful uphill ride to Tansen on the Siddhartha Highway. The ride starts fairly gradually and the road snakes its way up a wonderful valley. Climbing all the time the first part is not steep. As we approach Tansen the gradient increases and the final ride into the town is quite steep. Of course out hotel is at the above the town! But what a view as we ride round the last corner a whole spectacular panoramic view of the Himalaya comes into view. Starting in the west we can see Dhaulagiri and the Annapurnas. Then the famous fishtail mountain, Machhapuchhare comes into view followed by the Lamjung Himal and the Manaslu Himal . Situated at 1375m Tansen is a mediaeval hill town perched high above the Kali Gandaki River. t was once the seat of a powerful kingdom but is now a busy market town dominated by the rambling pink Tansen Durbar, the former seat of the Rana governor. Its entrance gate, Baggi Dhoka, is supposedly the largest and tallest gate in Nepal, with dimensions that allow the governor to make an impressive entry atop an elephant. This afternoon there should be time to walk down into the town and explore this interesting place.

11Day 11Long descent to Ramdi followed by a roller coaster ride towards Pokhara; drive for a couple of hours and a final ride into Pokhara.

We get up early today for the spectacular sunrise from the hotel. North the Himalaya stretch across the horizon and the snow capped peaks tower above us. South the middle hills disappear in the mist down to India. After breakfast it's back onto the bikes for the ride to Pokhara. We start by descending very steeply through the narrow winding streets of the old Tansen village, before meeting the Siddartha Highway. We continue our descent on a wide paved road that twists and turns all the way to Ramdi. It can get quite cold on the descent in autumn so we stop at Ramdi for a cup of hot sweet Nepali chai. A bridge takes us across the Kali Gandaki River and we now have a gentle climb towards Galyang. The road undulates most of the way to our lunch stop. We ride as far as Waling where we load our bikes onto the vehicle. We drive for about an hour and then there is the option of riding the last 14km into Pokhara. Weather permitting, there should be spectacular views of the famous Machhapuchhare Peak, ('Fishtail' mountain), and the main Annapurna range rising up to 8091m. On reaching Pokhara we check into the hotel where we will be based for the next two nights.

12Day 12Drive to Begnes Tal and trek for about 3 hours to Kalikistan with great views of snow capped peaks; afternoon cycle back to Pokhara via old town.

Pokhara lies at the bottom of a wide valley directly beneath the Annapurna range. If Kathmandu and its valley are the architectural treasure of Nepal, then Pokhara is nature's equivalent. At only 804 metres above sea level it is set amongst semi-tropical plants and has a delightfully temperate climate. Machhapuchhare and the Annapurna range of mountains dominate the skyline especially in the mornings, and the town is a great place to relax.Today a combination of hiking and biking sees us embarking on a section of the 'Royal Trek', so-named because Prince Charles once covered this route. Essentially we will follow the ridge line offeringa superb backdrop of Annapurna IV. We drive 20kms east out of Pokhara to Begnas Lake, where we set off on foot towards Kalikistan. The path winds up above the lake and climbs through mixed forest and through small traditional Nepali villages. We walk for about 3.5 hours to Kalikistan (9km), where we will meet up with the bikes. From here we descend 22km back into Pokhara. We follow the road through Pokhara old town and back to the hotel.
The rest of the day is free to explore the lakeside - there are shops selling handicrafts as well as restaurants and cafï¿½s dotted along the lakeside or you may want to take a taxi to the Gurkha Museum or even hire a boat to go rowing on the lake.

13Day 13Fly to Kathmandu; afternoon free.

Today we fly back to Kathmandu. It's a 30 minute flight, with stunning mountain views all the way. Usually the flight departs in the morning and the bikes return by road. However these flights can be subject to delays and do not always depart on time. Back in Kathmandu we have the afternoon free to explore the shops and sights of this fascinating city. Points of particular interest include Durbar Square, the location of the former Royal Palace with its intricate woodcarving and four fine towers, Pashupatinath - Nepal's most important Hindu temple, and Bodnath, the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal. In the evening we will have dinner in one of the city's many restaurants.See more images and videos

Essential info

Vaccinations and Visa
Most nationalities require a visa for Nepal, which can be obtained in advance or on entry. The current cost of a visa on arrival is USD25 for 15 days, USD40 for 30 days or if extending your stay USD100 for 90 days. All are multiple entry. You will also need a passport photo. The visa fee can be paid in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros. If you wish to apply before departure the current visa cost is GBP20 for a 15 day visa and GBP35 for a 30 day visa for UK passport holders. All other nationalities should check with their nearest embassy.
There are no mandatory vaccination requirements. Recommended vaccinations are: Polio, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Typhoid, Hepatitis A. The risk of malaria is present in certain regions only (such as Chitwan); you may wish to consult your GP or travel health clinic for further advice. Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available for Dengue, and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Most of our trips to Nepal go to high altitudes where there is a risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Sickness. Our itineraries are designed to enable everyone to acclimatise to these altitudes, but you should be aware that it is still possible for you to be affected. Please refer to the TRIP NOTES for complete advice on AMS.

Cycling Conditions

This trip is graded B/C, and is classified as a Road trip - please see page 7 of the brochure or the website for more information on grading and trip classification. Average 54km/day (longest ride 80km).
The majority of the riding is on paved roads or dirt roads. Some are of fairly good condition but there are also some rough sections. Most of the rides are undulating with some good downhill sections.There are occasional climbs, with some of them being steep. As the trip is 90% vehicle-supported, there will nearly always be the option to enjoy the scenery from the bus. The leader will inform you in advance about any off road sections where the bus is not around for support. 60% of the cycling is on surfaced roads and on some of these routes there will be traffic. You will be advised of this in the daily briefing. Although it is a moderate trip a good level of fitness is required and you should feel confident cycling for 8 days in sometimes humid conditions (especially in April). As the trip stays at relatively low altitudes (below 3000m) there will be minimal side affects from the altitude and the laid back pace means you can relax as well as immerse yourself in the local culture.

Eating & drinking

All breakfasts, 10 lunches and 7 dinners are included. Some of the lunches will be packed lunches and some of the dinners will be buffet style. The food will be a mixture of traditional Nepalese Dal Bhat with some Indian, Chinese and Continental food. For meals that are not included please allow approx. GBP10-15 per meal, which should also include drinks.

For water, fruit and snacks during the cycling days the leader will collect a kitty of approx. GBP40 in Kathmandu.

It is a good idea to bring a supply of your favourite energy snacks, and also electrolyte drink.

Weather & seasonality

Nepal has four distinct seasons and the weather conditions vary from season to season and from region to region. Spring is from March to May when it is hot and dusty with rain showers. Summer is from June to August, when it is monsoon. Autumn is from September to November and is cooler with clear skies, and winter is from December to February when it can be cold at night, even in the Terai.

This trip is run in spring, autumn and winter when the temperatures and riding conditions can vary considerably. (Please note that in the lowlands at the very hot times of year we might not be able to cycle so much as it is very hot and humid).

Autumn (September to November) - this is an ideal time to visit Nepal with warm sunny days and cooler nights. The Kathmandu Valley should be warm and sunny in the daytime with temperatures ranging from 10degC to 25degC. The hills at Daman will be cold at night and you will need a set of warmer clothes and in the early mornings and you will need a windproof for downhill sections. Daytimes should be nice and sunny. In the lowlands it will be hot and sunny with daytime temperatures up to 25/35degC. Nighttimes will be cooler. Pokhara will be sunny days and cooler nights.

Spring (March to May) - at this time of year the daytime temperatures are usually hot to very hot. It's a great time of year for those interested in flowers. In the Kathmandu Valley temperatures range from 15degC to 25degC. In the Terai (lowlands) temperatures can rise to 35degC and it is hot and humid. In the hills at Daman it will be pleasant. Pokhara will be hot and sunny. There can be rain in spring but it is not usually prolonged and it helps damp down any dust.

Winter (December to February) - this is a good time to travel in Nepal as it is less busy. Temperatures are cooler but still warm in the daytimes. Daytimes in the Kathmandu Valley start off cold (10degC of lower) but rise to 15/20degC when the sun comes out. Evenings are cooler and you will need a jacket/fleece. In the lowlands the mornings and evenings can get cold but the daytimes are pleasant and sunny (up to 25degC). The hills at Daman will be cold and you will need a warm set of clothes for mornings and evenings and a windproof for cycling in the mornings and the long downhill sections. In Pokhara mornings and evenings will be cool but daytimes are usually pleasant and sunny.

Please remember that in any mountain area the weather is never wholly predictable and you should be prepared and equipped to deal with any differences in weather beyond the conditions described above. Please see the Essential Equipment section below for more details of clothing for specific seasons.

Reviews & community

This was the most interesting cycling trip we have ever done. An absolutely wonderful experience.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

The people of Nepal are the friendliest in the world and they live in the most beautiful country. The Himalayas are spectacular, especially pared with the terraces of the foothills. November is a perfect month to visit. The weather is reliable but not too hot to cycle.

What did you think of your group leader?

Our group leader was superb. He was profesional and friendly and immediately got the measure of our laid back group. Cannot speak more highly of him.

Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

Be aware that the term 'road' is very loosely used in Nepal. This can make the cycling particularly challenging when going up hill. In Kathmandu the polution is severe - many of the locals wear masks.

The hotels are of mixed standard so be prepared not to expect too much comfort at every stop and the level of cleanliness can be poor. However the bedding itself was clean.

this is a country where delays are normal and you need a laid back attitude.

You will need slighlty warmer clothes for a couple of the mornings but not too many. We definately over-packed.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I would highly recommend this trip as it enables you to see Nepal away from the major tourist cities and to experience this wonderful country and its people.

An amazing trip, with phenomenal scenery, a great group of people and a totally fantastic tour leader (Kumar) and his crew.I'm glad to see the trip back on for 2014 as this would be hard to beat.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

So many: the mountains, the food, the places we visited and stayed in.

A couple of us fancied a duck curry (random), so our tour leader had a word with a local villager, who in turn arranged the curry to be cooked and we went back later to eat accompanied by a couple of beers!

During most of the second week, we had a stunning Himalayan back-drop everywhere we travelled, which we never got bored of and I think I took hundreds of pics to prove it!

What did you think of your group leader?

Kumar's enthusiasm is infectious and nothing was too much trouble for him. He put maximum effort into making sure everyone had the best time and enjoyed everything his country had to offer. If Kumar does not win a 'Best Tour Leader' award for 2013, it would be a travesty! One of the most memorable moments for me was seeing Kumar running down a hotel corridor (at about 6.45am, as I was on my way to breakfast) and calling me to come with him quickly. As we got outside, the Himalayas were in full view for the first time (from cloud cover). It was breathtaking scenery and again, demonstrates Kumar's enthusiasm.

Kumar arranged everything to perfection and everything we wanted to do, he made sure happened - and much more besides. A true hero and Exodus are fortunate to have someone so dedicated.

I have done a previous Exodus trip (to Vietnam, and again, the tour leader was great) and I cannot express the importance of having a good guide for a trip. They can make or break a trip, so it is fair to say, Kumar definitely helped make my Nepal trip!

Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

If you love cycling (which to be in this section of the website, it's safe to say you do), this trip is well worth booking, as it has everything.

Arguably the best travelled man in Britain, Phil has notched up over 100 countries since joining Exodus sometime (he won't tell us exactly) in the 1980s. His 10 years driving Exodus Overland Expeditions around Asia, Africa and South America included 3 north-south traverses of Sudan and various visits to Afghanistan. Office work has slightly tamed the man, and interests now lean more towards trekking - Dolpo in Western Nepal; and biking - wine trails of France.

Questions about your trip

Pick your question

I have some free time in Kathmandu?

My personal favourite is the Pashupatinath temple, to the north east of Kathmandu city centre. You know those photos you’ve seen of the sadhus or holy men, with the long dreadlocks and ash covered bodies? Well this is where most of them hang out!

Regarded as one of the holiest temples of Lord Shiva, it’s so old that nobody is certain when it was founded. Like Varanasi in India, cremation pyres line the banks of the Bagmati river and it’s one of the most fascinating places in the Kathmandu valley to people watch.

Joanna Zubr - Customer Operations

Can you always guarantee a bike available to hire locally?

‘In-country’ bike hire should be arranged at the time of booking, and the cost will be added to your invoice. Please note that there are a limited number of bikes available locally. We always have to match a person's height to the bike frame size and, as there are a limited amount of each size, we cannot always guarantee availability of the correct frame. Therefore it is recommended you add the local bike hire as early as possible.

Andy Ross - Product Manager

Is the cycling difficult in Nepal?

The distances are manageable, the terrain can be rough and some of climbs are pretty steep. That said, anyone with a fair amount of fitness will be ok.

There are only a few ‘technical’ bits, all of which are pretty short – if you are not comfortable with it then just walk for a short while. If all you are used to is a gentle Sunday ride around the park then you will find this trip pretty challenging, but very rewarding should you take it on.

Day 2 is ok in terms of hills (though there are a few short, steep climbs), it is pretty rough terrain though – dirt tracks, sometimes pretty narrow (no support vehicle for a few miles but you are warned of this in advance). Scenery is fantastic, just take it slow, make use of all the gears (the bikes are good quality front suspension mountain bikes) and its certainly manageable.Day 3 has some long climbs – the whole day is mainly uphill, also of course some really fun descents too – one of which is fairly technical, again some of the “roads” are pretty rough going. However, the majority is on tarmac, just don’t expect UK standards! You have all day to cover 20kms so there is no rush and plenty of stops to rest and refuel if needed.Day 4 is the toughest day! The trip notes state that the distance ridden is 65km. However this is completely dependent on the group – for ours, we were in the bus for the first and last sections (about 22km). The last section is really hard going if attempted (15km ish of steep climb) – I remember the leader saying that only one group had attempted it previously. Even if some of the group want to give it a go (presuming the pace of the group during the day allows time for it), the rest can get on the support bus. By missing that final climb, we had a very nice 5/6kms of downhill to finish the day before getting on the bus for the final 15km. Day 5 is all downhill, from here on out its definitely B grade. Though it is Nepal, don’t expect any days without a few climbs!
